A Day of Change.

Today is historic in more than one way for thousands of Americans.

The first and most obvious is the inauguration of Barack Obama as our 44th President! I must admit, the excitement that surrounds me in regards to the upcoming event is contagious. The energy that fills the air is a great feeling and if the hope and promise of change Barack Obama brings become actions that he can stand behind, then America will come back stronger and better than ever before. He's a great man with a loving family and as with past presidential children, it will be fun watching the girls become women. The only issue I see is his inexperience but, with time I'm sure he will prove himself. At least, unlike G.W. Bush, I don't see him being known as the 'most vacationing president ever'. I see him digging in with both heels and taking on the pressing issues as hand.
Plus it's going to be fun watching Michelle Obama go through the fashion's of the day. We'll follow her like they did Jackie Kennedy. And of course there will be stories of the Pre's pooch. I'm hoping they decide to look at local rescues to find the perfect puppy but, I doubt that will happen. Regardless, watching the antics of the dog and the kids will be entertaining and the girls finally get the dog their daddy promised. That's a good sign.
Cheers to the promise of change!

On a more somber note, it's been rumored around the Nation that there will be more job losses across the board for a major radio corporation. It is a move of historic measure and my heart goes out to the thousands of people that are about to become part of the millions of unemployed Americans. Somethings gotta give in regards to the amount of people that are and continue to be out of work. I'm interested in seeing how this particular issue will be handled but until then...don't give up, things can only get better. You're definitely not alone.

Thanks for reading.
